     a) the mount acts as a support to at least two different application elements, typically two different tufts of the application material, each application element or different tuft including a foot or base B i  so as to anchor each application element to the mount, and a sheaf including or constituted by the flexible application material, each sheaf emerging from a different portion of the mount M along a different surface S i  of said mount,  
     b) the brush forms a typically two-dimensional object, with the larger dimension typically less than 50 mm, in such a way that the brush is able to be placed in a make-up case.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The invention relates to the field of packaging cosmetic ormake-up products typically in powder form, and relates more particularlyto means of applying these products, as well as to the field of casesthat include these cosmetic products.

PRIOR ART

[0002] Powders intended for make-up are generally packaged inreceptacles called “cases”.

[0003] These cases typically include as a means of applying said powder,a powder puff.

[0004] Furthermore, people who apply make up at home also often haveavailable make-up brushes, typically in the shape of an artist'spaintbrush.

[0005] Problems Posed

[0006] The problems posed by the means of applying powder according tothe prior art take numerous forms:

[0007] on the one hand, people using powder wish to be able to haveavailable at all times, even outside the bathroom, different applicationmeans such as brushes,

[0008] on the other hand, the traditional powder puff has somedrawbacks, both in terms of hands getting dirty, and of its singletexture and, consequently the limited possibilities it gives ofobtaining different effects or looks, on the face,

[0009] furthermore, as far as the brushes themselves are concerned, onthe one hand, they typically constitute an autonomous accessoryindependent of the case, and on the other hand, a number of brushes areneeded if different looks or effects are to be obtained on the face,

[0010] moreover, powder puffs or brushes are typically meant to beapplied flat, whereas the face, particularly in the cheekbone area, hasa rather angular contour,

[0011] lastly, in the make-up field particularly, it is important forthe commercial product offer to be renewed on a regular basis, sincenovelty often takes precedence over tradition in the mind of thepurchaser.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] According to the invention, the brush intended to apply,typically onto a support, typically the face, at least one powderedproduct, typically a compacted make-up powder and/or a blusher, includesa typically rigid mount M, acting as a means of gripping said brushmanually, and a means of applying said product integral with said mountincluding a typically flexible application material, and ischaracterised in that:

[0013] a) said mount M acts as a support to at least two differentapplication means, typically two different tufts T of said applicationmaterial, with each application means or different tuft T_(i) includinga foot or base B_(i) so as to anchor each application means to saidmount M, and a sheaf F_(i) including or constituted by said typicallyflexible application material, each sheaf F_(i) emerging from adifferent portion of said mount M along a different surface S_(i) ofsaid mount, each sheaf F_(i) defining a lateral envelope E_(i) limitedat its end by an application surface A_(i), so as typically to allow atleast two different applications of said powder onto said support, andin that:

[0014] b) said mount forms a typically two-dimensional object, of largerdimension D typically less than 50 mm, and of thickness E typically lessthan 0.3 D, in such a way that said brush is able to be placed typicallyin a make-up case.

[0015] This combination of means allows the problems posed to beresolved.

[0016] Indeed, brushes according to the invention are brushes adapted tocases containing said powder. These brushes include a mount constitutingmanual gripping means and a support for at least the two differentapplication means, such that by playing on the shape and/or the natureof these application means, as will be shown particularly in thefigures, it is thereby possible to resolve the problems posed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0043] According to the invention, said mount M (2) is able to form anobject of maximum thickness E typically less than 10 mm, each sheafF_(i) having a length L_(F) from 0.5.D to 1.5.D, said length LF beingthe distance between said mount M and said application surface A_(i).Thus, said brush forms a typically flat object able to be placed in acase, the tufts being able to be compressed so as to have a thickness atmost equal to that of the mount.

[0044] See for example FIG. 1b.

[0045] As shown in most of the figures, said mount M (2) may include twodifferent tufts T₁ and T₂, each tuft T₁ (3, 4) and T₂ (3′, 4′) forming asheaf F₁ (31, 41) and F₂ (31′, 41′) respectively emerging from saidmount M along two different surfaces S₁ (20) and S₂ (20′) respectively.

[0046] These different surfaces correspond to portions of the envelopesurface of said mount, from which the tufts T₁ (3, 4) and T₂ (3′, 4′)emerge. They have been shown in FIGS. 1a and 1 b in hatched lines, thetufts not having been shown in these figures.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 1a, 1 b, 2 d, 5 b and 7 a, said differentsurfaces S₁ (20) and S₂ (20′) may be longitudinal, typically rectangularor oblong surfaces, of length or larger dimension L typically from 5 to20 mm, and of width or smaller dimension 1 from 1 to 5 mm, with L/l from2 to 10, so as to form two typically longitudinal sheaves F₁ and F₂typically forming two flexible curtains.

[0048] However, as shown in FIGS. 3a to 3 c, said surfaces S₁ (20) andS₂ (20′) may typically be circular, or semi-circular surfaces, ofdiameter d typically from 2 to 10 mm.

[0049] As shown in FIGS. 7a and 7 b, said different surfaces S₁ (20) andS₂ (20′) may be contiguous, on one side or at a common point.

[0050] However, as shown in FIGS. 2a and 2 c, said different surfaces S₁(20) and S₂ (20′) may be spaced apart by a distance e, measured fromedge to edge, or by a distance e′, measured from centre to centre, saiddistance e typically being less than 0.4.D, and e′ typically from 0.2.Dto 0.8.D.

[0051] As shown in FIGS. 2a and 2 b, and in FIGS. 3a and 3 b, saidsheaves F_(i) (31, 31′, 41, 41′) may have a maximum angle of aperture ofα>0 and possibly a minimum angle of aperture α′>0, with α′<α. Theseangles are taken relative to the median plane of the sheaves. It ispossible to have an angle α, typically from 15° to 45° and an angle α′typically from 5° to 30°.

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 2a and 2 b, said surfaces S₁ (20) and S₂ (20′)may be non-contiguous and be spaced apart by a distance e such that saidcorresponding application surfaces A₁ (32, 42) and A₂ (32′, 42′) arecontiguous, given said angle of aperture α, said distances e or e′ andsaid length L_(F).

[0053] The application surfaces may be contiguous to a more or lesssignificant degree, namely just contiguous, as shown in FIG. 5c,slightly contiguous as shown in FIG. 3a, and largely contiguous as shownin FIG. 4a.

[0054] But, as shown for example in FIG. 4b, said surfaces S₁ (20) andS₂ (20′) may be non-contiguous and be spaced apart by a distance e suchthat said corresponding application surfaces A₁ (32, 42) and A₂ (32′,42′) are non-contiguous, given said angle of aperture α, said distancese or e′ and said length L_(F).

[0055] According to a form of mount (2) shown in FIGS. 1a and 2 a, saidsurfaces S₁ (20) and S₂ (20′) may be in one and the same plane P′ whichis typically perpendicular to said medium plane P.

[0056] According to a form of mount (2) shown in FIGS. 1, 4b and 5 a,said surfaces S₁ (20) and S₂ (20′) may be located in different planesP′₁ and P′₂ respectively, typically perpendicular to said medium planeP, and forming between them an angle β, typically equal to 150°±25°, insuch a way that, with said corresponding application surfaces A₁ (32,42) and A₂ (32′, 42′) forming between them an angle typically close tosaid angle β, said application surfaces may conform in shape to theoutlines and contours of the face, typically the cheekbones of the face.

[0057] According to the invention, at least one of the planes P′₁ andP′₂ is able not to be perpendicular to said medium plane P. Indeed, itis not necessary for the planes P′₁ and P′₂ which include the surfacesS₁ (20) and S₂ (20′) to be perpendicular to the medium plane P of themount (2). These planes may indeed form with said plane P an angleslightly different from 90°.

[0058] As shown in FIGS. 1a, 1 b and 2 a, said different tufts T₁ (3, 4)and T₂ (3′, 4′) may be geometrically symmetrical relative to a plane ofsymmetry Ps perpendicular to said plane P.

[0059] However, given the nature of the invention, it is possible tohave tufts that are dissymmetrical by their shape and/or their volume.

[0060] As shown diagrammatically and partially in FIG. 2a, saiddifferent tufts T₁ (3, 4) and T₂ (3′, 4′) may be tufts of hair (4, 4′).These tufts of hair may be constituted by hairs PL of the same nature ortexture.

[0061] However, said different tufts T₁ (3, 4) and T₂ (3′, 4′) may betufts of hairs (4, 4′) constituted by hairs of different nature ortexture PL1 and PL2, so as to be able to form two applications, that aredifferent by texture or grain, of one and the same product or of twoproducts.

[0062] According to the invention, said different tufts T₁ (3, 4) and T₂(3′, 4′) may be formed by one and the same fibrous or alveolar materialable to provide a transfer of said product, or by two different fibrousor alveolar materials able to provide a transfer of said product.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 1b, said application surfaces A₁ (32, 42) and A₂(32′, 42′) may project themselves orthogonally over a plane Ppperpendicular to said plane Ps typically according to a rectangle S_(A)of length L_(A) and of width l_(A), each application surface (32, 32′,42, 42′) projecting itself typically along a length L_(A)/2, in the caseof contiguous application surfaces A₁ and A₂, with L_(A) typically lessthan D and with l_(A) typically less than 3.E.

[0064] According to one form of the invention, and as shown in FIGS. 2ato 2 c, 3 a, 3 c, 4 b, 5 a, 6, said mount (2) may include as manydifferent cavities Ci (24, 24′) as tufts T_(i), said foot or base B_(i)of each tuft T_(i) being anchored into said cavity C_(i).

[0065] According to another form of the invention shown in FIG. 4a, saidfoot or base B_(i) of each tuft T_(i) may be anchored, typically bybonding, to said surface S_(i) of said mount (2), the mount (2) notincluding any cavities.

[0066] It is also possible to anchor the tufts to the mount by snappingthem on.

[0067] Another subject of the invention is constituted by a case (5) fordispensing product typically in the form of compacted powder (9)including a brush (1) according to the invention, said brush (1) forminga means of application of said product and being of dimensions adaptedto those of said case, so as to be able to be placed in said closed case(5) between a bottom (6) of said case fitted with at least one pot (8)containing said compacted powder (9) and a lid (7) of said casetypically including a mirror (70).

[0068] Engagement between the typically two-dimensional brush (1) andthe case (5) has been shown in FIG. 4b.

[0069] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8a, this case (5) may include a singlepot (8) containing a single compacted product PC and in which thecompacted product has a contact surface S_(C) with a dimension or widthL_(C) such that the ratio L_(A)/L_(C) is close to 1 and typicallybetween 0.7 and 1.1, so as to apply the same product using two differenttufts T₁ and T₂ as shown for example in FIG. 6.

[0070] But, as shown for example in FIG. 8a, said compacted product (9)includes two different compacted products PC₁ and PC₂ typically forminga single block of compacted powder, and separated along a typicallystraight line of demarcation LD, so that, said brush being appliedagainst said compacted product and said central common area ZC of saidtufts along said line of demarcation LD, it is thus possible to take upsimultaneously two different products typically in a single movement.

[0071] Each of these two different compacted products PC₁ and PC₂ mayform a block placed in one and the same pot, as shown in FIGS. 8b to 8d, or in two pots side by side along a line of demarcation LD′, as shownin FIG. 5c, in such a way that the two blocks are typically at the most2 mm apart.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 8b or in FIG. 6, said compacted products PC1 andPC2 may form a total contact surface S_(C) with an average dimensionL_(C), taken perpendicularly to said line of demarcation LD or LD′comparable to a straight portion, such that the ratio L_(A)/L_(C) isclose to 1 and typically between 0.7 and 1.1, so as to have a contactsurface adapted to said brush (1).

[0073] As shown in FIGS. 8c and 8 d, said contact surface S_(C) may forman angle γ typically close to 180°±40° or possibly 360°-β, in such a waythat said brush, according to the geometric shape of said applicationsurface A₁ or A₂ is able to take up powder from said two productsuniformly by passing said sheaves of hair F₁ and F₂ over said contactsurface S_(C).

[0074] Exemplary Embodiments

[0075] The figures constitute exemplary embodiments.

[0076] Brushes (1) were manufactured with mounts (2) as in FIGS. 1a to 2d for rectangular cases of 60 mm×80 mm.

[0077] Brushes (1) were manufactured with mounts (2) as in FIGS. 3a to 6for round cases of 60 mm diameter as shown in FIG. 8a.

[0078] The mounts (2) were formed by moulding.

[0079] Different types of compressed powder blocks were formed as shownin FIGS. 5c, 6, 8 a to 8 d.

[0080] The large dimension D of the mount (2) was taken as equal to 40mm, and the thickness E as equal to 8 mm.

[0081] Tufts of hair were formed that corresponded substantially to whatis shown in the figures. These tufts were anchored to the mounts byanchoring the foot of the tuft into a cavity in the mount, or by bondingthe foot onto the mount in the case of the brush in FIG. 4a.

[0082] The cases fitted with brushes and blocks of powder according tothe invention were tested by a group of users, comparatively toconventional cases fitted with a puff as a means of applying the powder.

ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION

[0083] Brushes according to the invention and cases fitted with thesebrushes were acknowledged by the user group as resolving all theproblems posed by powder application means of the prior art.

[0084] Indeed, on the one hand, the users considered using a brush to bemore appropriate than using a puff for make-up purposes.

[0085] On the other hand, it is much less messy to handle a brush than apuff.

[0086] Furthermore, the brushes according to the invention, particularlythrough their different texture depending on the tuft considered, allowdifferent effects or looks to be obtained on the face.

[0087] Moreover, given the possibility of having brushes with twoapplication surfaces forming an angle between them, they are adapted toapplying make-up to the face, particularly to the cheekbone area, whichhas a somewhat angular contour.

[0088] Furthermore, as can be seen from the different brush forms shownin the figures, the invention allows a wide variety of new shapes andfunctions to be offered.
